I am studying at Japanese at uni and am able to hold down a basic conversation. I would consider my ability at an intermediate level... or at least that's the goal. By the end of the year I'll be expected to gain a lvl 3 when I sit the JPLT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test).
Is this realistic? Any suggestions?

Personally, I think that your plan is quite realistic. Actually, i have met people doing it like that. In Roppongi or Azabu area or areas around that end of town (i assume you are coming to tokyo), there are some bars, restaurants or pubs that employ foreigners. Sounds like you are heading for a great trip!!
One year will be great to explore Japan, I think. About money, yeah, take loads but if you are coming to japan for sure, you should start exchanging some Japanese yen since NZD is quite strong recently.....
I actually took 3-4 months to go on a great trip in Europe and South America... it was excellent. good to hear someone who loves travelling too!!!
